WEBVTT NO DOUBT YOU'VE HEARD OF RESTAURANT WEEK, A TWICE A YEAR EVENT IN BOSTON AND OTHER CITIES WHEN DINERS CAN GET DEALS ON THEIR MEALS. NOW COMES A NEW EVENT. BOSTON ART WEEK. THE IDEA, TO LET ART LOVERS HAVE THEIR FILL OF UNIQUE EXPERIENCES FROM WATCHING AS ARTIST IS CREATED TO MAKING YOUR OWN INSTRUMENT. SHAYNA SEYMOUR HAS A PREVIEW. THIS AIN'T NO MOVIE SHOW. POPUP THEATER PERFORMANCES, OPEN ARTIST STUDIOS, PANORAMIC PHOTOGRAPHY. EVEN WINE AND SIEL PHONES. JUST A FEW OF THE EVENTS ON TAP FOR ART WEEK BOSTON. WHAT'S ART WEEK? THINK OF IT AS FOOD FOR THE SOUL, SAYS JOE SPAULDING, C.E.O. AND PRESIDENT OF CITY PERFORMING ARTS CENTER. YOU SAY IT'S MODELED AFTER RESTAURANT WEEK? THIS IS THE FIRST IN THE COUNTRY. SO WE'VE COME UP WITH THIS IDEA, THE IDEA THIS IS GOING TO BE OWNED BY US, PRODUCED BY US, WE THINK WE CAN MAKE IT SUCCESSFUL. IT WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR AUDIENCES TO EXPERIENCE A MULTITUDE OF CREATIVE PROCESSES. TARTS KEEPS A CIVILIZED SOCIETY, CREATIVE LIFE IS SOMETHING THAT ONE SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE AND WHEN YOU HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO OPEN UP THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BRAIN YOU BECOME A BETTER PERSON, A BETTER WORKER AND A BETTER JUST HAVING A GOOD TIME. KATIE NOBLE IS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF PHOTO NIGHTS BOSTON. THE GROUP IS HOSTING PHOTO RAMA, AN EVENT AT THE PSYCH LOW RAMMA. ON DISPLAY, STUNNING PHOTOGRAPHS. WE HAVE RECEIVED ABOUT 300 SUBMISSIONS FROM PHOTOGRAPHERS. AND AT THE EVENT WE HAVE 11 PROJECTION SCREENS THAT WILL BE PROJECTING THE IMAGES ON THE WALLS. SO ABOUT 360 DEGREES, THE IMAGES WILL BE PROJECTED, REALLY HUGE, SO THAT IT FEELS LIKE YOU'RE IN A MUSEUM SLASH GALLERY AND YOU GET THIS VERY IMMERSIVE ART EXPERIENCE. SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT. PHOTOGRAPHER DAVE BRADLEY JUMPED AT THE CHANCE TO TAKE PART IN THE EVENT. ONE OF MY ASSIGNMENTS HAS BEEN TO PRODUCE PAN RAMS OF THE CITY OF BOSTON, OR ICONIC AREAS OF THE CITY OF BOSTON. ONE THING I HAVE HERE IS FORT INDEPENDENCE AND CASTLE ISLAND. I BRING MY CAMERA OUT, THIS GUY RIGHT HERE, I SHOOT EVERYTHING VERTICALLY AND HAVE IT ON A TRIPOD AND BASICALLY I JUST TAKE SHOTS LIKE THAT, I MAKE SURE THEY OVERLAP. SO THIS IS REALLY A CHANCE TO BUILD A COMMUNITY, AND TO HAVE PEOPLE CELEBRATE PHOTOGRAPHY. BECAUSE I THINK PHOTOGRAPHY AS AN ART FORM, IT CAN BE VERY INSPIRING AND CAUSE DISCUSSION AND INTERACTION BY SEEING AN IMAGE. AT AUDIO CONCEPTS IN BOSTON, RAY, A FURNITURE MAKER AND MUSICIAN IS USING HIS TALENTS TO OFFER AN EXCEPTIONAL NIGHT OUT. EACH PARTICIPANT WILL MAKE AND THEN LEARN TO PLY A SIEL PHONE. AND THERE'S WINE AND CHEESE TOO. WE'RE GOING TO GET SOME PIECES OF WOOD, PIECES OF METAL AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY BUILD THEM. WHAT DO YOU HOPE PEOPLE GET OUT OF THIS? BEING INVOLVED IN AN ENSEMBLE SITUATION LIKE THAT, WHEN THEY ACTUALLY GO TO A PERFORMANCE, GO SEE THE SYMPHONY OR A ROCK BAND OR GO SEE JAZZ OR WHATEVER, IF THEY'VE NEVER DONE IT BEFORE THEY MIGHT HAVE A BETTER APPRECIATION OF WHAT IT'S LIKE TO ACTUALLY BE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. IT WOULDN'T BE ART WEEK WITHOUT A CONTRIBUTION FROM THE ARTIST GUILD. DEBBIE KRIM HAS PLENTY IN STORE. WHAT IS YOUR ROLE IN ART WEEK? WE'RE SO EXCITED ABOUT ART WEEK. YOU'LL GET TO SEE SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN NEVER SEE HERE AT 450 HARRISON AVENUE WHAT GOES ON BEHIND THOSE DOORS IS THE ARTIST CREATING THEIR ART. SO PAINTERS PAINTING, SCULPTORS SCULPTING. WHATEVER YOUR ART FORM IS, ACTUALLY PRODUCING THE WORK. SO WE ARE OFFERING THIS RARE OPPORTUNITY TO THE PUBLIC TO COME AND VIEW US WORKING. SCULPTOR BRIAN MURPHY WILL BE ON HAND. YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN AN EVENT LIKE THIS, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU? FOR ME IT'S LIKE A CHANCE TO INTERACT MORE WITH PEOPLE, TEACHING PEOPLE ABOUT ART, EXPOSING MY ART TO OTHER PEOPLE AND GETTING A SENSE OF WHO I AM AS AN ARTIST AND ALSO TO HELP THEM SEE HOW ART IS MADE. MORE THAN CARIBBEAN SPICES WILL BE IN THE AIR AT RESTAURANT LAURA IN DORCHESTER DURING ART WEEK. THE FIDDLE HEAD THEATER PLAYERS WILL BE ENTERTAINING DINERS. MEG IS THE COMPANY'S ARTISTIC DIRECTOR. FAME JUNIOR IS BASICALLY POPUP THEATER IN THE RESTAURANT WHILE PEOPLE ARE ENJOYING A WONDERFUL CAPE VERDEAN MEAL. NAY ARE SURROUNDED BY THESE VERY TALENTED YOUNG PEOPLE DOING THIS PRODUCTION WHICH IS FAME, EVERYONE KNOWS THE MOVIE, THEY'RE GOING TO DANCE AND SING AND ENTERTAIN PEOPLE WHILE THEY'RE EATING, A KIND OF DINNER THEATER, BURR A POPUP VERSION WHERE THEY SORT OF POP UP ALL AROUND IN THE RESTAURANT. ART WEEK BEGINS ON SEPTEMBER 27, AND THOSE INVOLVED ARE CONVINCED IT'S DESTINED TO BE BOSTON'S NEWEST TRADITION. THERE'S SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU GO ON ART WEEK BOSTON.ORG AND YOU'LL SEE OVER 50 EVENTS AND MANY, MANY DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS ALL PARTNERING TOGETHER. AND THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. BECAUSE THIS IS ABOUT COLLABORATION AND PARTNERSHIP AND CREATING WOW. SO AGAIN ART WEEK IS SEPTEMBER 27 THROUGH OCTOBER 6. FOR EXAMPLE, PHOTO RAMMA THAT WE TALKED ABOUT THERE IS OCTOBER 3 AND IT IS FREE, BUT YOU HAVE TO GO ONLINE ON THEIR WEBSITE TO GET TICKETS. THERE ARE MORE THAN 50 DIFFERENT EVENTS, THINGS TO DO AND SEE, SO SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE OF ALL AGES AS WELL. "CHRONICLE"'S EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW AFTER THE BREAK.
